Schnitzel
Schnitzel is a classic Austrian dish made with breaded and fried meat, typically veal or pork.
Ingredients
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Vegetable oil (1/2 cup)
- Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Breadcrumbs (2 cups)
- Eggs (2)
- All (purpose flour - 1 cup)
- Veal or pork cutlets (4 pieces)
Instructions
- Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dip each veal or pork cutlet into the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip the cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the cutlet in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the breaded cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
